Last updated

Turkeyhen Run (also called Turkey Hen Creek) is a stream entirely within Washington County, Ohio. [1] It is a 4.5 mile long tributary of the south branch of Wolf Creek, which flows into the Muskingum River. [2]

Turkeyhen Run was so named by a group of hunters from Virginia, who to their dismay, caught only a turkey hen. [3]
